  • Governor Meyer urges quick approval of Senate Bill 21

    THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED WILMINGTON-  Despite the criticism from legal experts, Governor Matt Meyer’s Senate Bill 21 advanced to the House on Wednesday.  The legislation seeks to address ambiguities in corporate decision-making by providing a safe harbor for independent directors and refining shareholder governance structures. These updates are designed to strike a fair balance between management authority and shareholder protections, so Delaware remains an attractive jurisdiction for businesses. “For over a century, Delaware has been the most sought-after state for business owners—small and large—to incorporate,” said Governor Meyer.  “That reputation is built on our ability to swiftly adapt to market demands while maintaining clarity, predictability, and fairness in corporate oversight.” Highlighting the urgency of this legislation, Meyer urged state lawmakers to pass Senate Bill 21 swiftly.  “We are at a pivotal moment where we must once again demonstrate why we lead in corporate governance. I call on both chambers to act with the urgency this issue demands.” The bill updates Section 144 of Delaware’s General Corporation Law to establish safe harbor protections for transactions involving directors, officers, or controlling stockholders with potential conflicts of interest. The bill defines controlling stockholders as those who: Own or control a majority of voting power Have the right to elect a majority of the board Exercise significant managerial control It also establishes protections for transactions involving controlling stockholders, ensuring they follow fair governance processes. The economic significance of corporate incorporation Delaware’s corporate franchise is a cornerstone of the state’s economy, contributing approximately $2.2 billion—more than one-third of the state’s budget.  The state is home to 2.2 million registered entities, more than twice its population, and incorporates 81% of the U.S. IPOs in the past year alone. SB21 has support from Congress   Senator Darius Brown (D), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement Wednesday afternoon: “Today, the Delaware Senate Judiciary Committee took a significant step in reaffirming our state’s leadership in corporate law by releasing Senate Bill 21 from committee. This legislation underscores Delaware’s unwavering commitment to maintaining its status as the premier jurisdiction for corporate incorporation. Delaware’s legal framework has long been a cornerstone of stability, efficiency, and reliability for corporations worldwide. The recommendations from the Delaware Bar and Corporate Legal Counsel were instrumental in shaping this legislation and guiding our decision. Their expertise and insight ensured that SB21 reflects the evolving needs of modern businesses while preserving the principles that have made Delaware’s corporate legal environment a gold standard. As we move forward, we urge Governor Meyer and our colleagues in the Delaware House of Representatives to join us in supporting SB21. Together, we can ensure that Delaware remains a beacon of innovation and excellence in corporate governance, fostering an environment where businesses can thrive while contributing to the prosperity of our state.” Senator Gerald Hocker (R) Senate Minority Leader, wrote in a statement: “SB 21 is needed to strengthen certainty and cement the fact that Delaware is where business owners should incorporate. Just as the legislature does each year, we took recommendations from the Corporate Legal Counsel and Delaware Bar about how we can modernize our corporate code and inserted those recommendations into this legislation. I urge my colleagues in the House of Representatives to quickly pass SB 21 and for our governor to sign the legislation into law, allowing us to remain the preferred state for businesses around the world to incorporate.” SB 21 faces backlash from legal experts calling it “the billionaire’s bill”  Despite nearly 20 attorneys and legal experts asking to reconsider SB21 during Wednesdays committee, it was still passed. Critics of the bill argue that the proposed changes are premature and primarily benefit a handful of billionaires who have openly criticized Delaware’s corporate law system, labeling SB 21 as “the billionaire’s bill.” Joel Friedlander, partner at Delaware firm Friedlander & Gorris, urged the House to reject SB 21, warning that it threatens the legal stability and judicial expertise that have long established Delaware as the gold standard for corporate governance. “The bill is a misguided effort to rebrand Delaware as a place where corporate defendants can run to the legislature to overrule our widely respected courts,” Friedlander wrote in a statement.

  • Dubformer AI dubbing secures $3.6 million funding

    WILMINGTON- Dubformer, an innovative AI-driven dubbing technology, announced the successful closure of a $3.6 million seed funding round. Led by Almaz Capital, joined by key investors s16vc and FinSight, along with angel investors like Arul Menezes, founder of Microsoft Translator, and Funa Maduka, former head of International Original Film at Netflix.  This investment will drive the company’s mission to push the boundaries of emotional expression in AI dubbing and further enhance global media localization. Emotion Transfer, is a technology that enhances dubbing by transferring emotions rather than merely cloning voices.  The newly secured funding will be strategically directed toward three key areas of development, all aimed at improving Dubformer’s technology for professional media companies over the next two years. Including expanding professional solutions, improving translation technology, and engaging live dubbing for real-time broadcasts.  The funding will also enable Dubformer to strengthen its position in the competitive AI dubbing market. With experience delivering broadcast dubbing for industry giants like NBC Universal, and All3Media. “We’re also growing our client base, with significant contracts from major players that we can’t yet disclose publicly,” said Anton Dvorkovich, the CEO of Dubformer.  “We’re constantly developing new methods to bring AI dubbing closer to reality. Our Emotion Transfer technology has already proven its success, emphasizing emotionally resonant, natural dubbing that goes beyond simple voice cloning,” Dvorkovich said.  Now, the company is focusing on developing new features and preparing to launch broadcast AI dubbing, tailored specifically for media companies.  This funding brings support from industry leaders,  enabling Dubfromer to deliver scalable, cost-effective solutions that meet the evolving needs of the media industry. Since its launch, Dubformer has experienced rapid growth, averaging over 50% month-over-month. According to Dvorkovich, Dubformer’s rapid 50% month-over-month growth rate can be attributed to two  factors. The first being winning first place at the WMT competition for speech translation—outperforming major players like Google and ChatGPT—has solidified Dubformer’s credibility in the industry. Secondly, the company’s launch of a new professional studio product has been instrumental in accelerating growth. The tool, which blends human expertise with AI, has been quickly embraced by leading global studios for its ability to deliver high-quality dubbing.  The biggest growth opportunities will come from the surge in personalized, ad-supported content and media companies expanding into regions like MENA, Africa, and the Balkans. “Traditional localization methods are often too costly for these markets, but AI-driven dubbing makes it simpler and more affordable,” he said. Looking to the future, Dubformer sees exponential growth potential in the AI media localization space. “As global video production and consumption continue to rise, the demand for scalable, cost-effective dubbing solutions will grow.”
